How to Make Maple Apple Cinnamon Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
**Make the Cake Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 large egg, 2 large egg whites, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a medium bowl, toss together 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
Gently fold the apple mixture into the cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
**Make the Maple Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and 2-4 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth and pourable. Add more milk/water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze over the top.
